The New Management Team at Midas Press PLC

16th February 2010 - Thank you to the e-mails and Comment that I received. I can at least build up a picture about who is involved in the new "Phoenix" company.

The new management team seem to be as follows:

David Hissey - Main Shareholder and money man. He is the ex partner of Midas Press that retired a few years ago on what was probably quite a healthy pension! He's now back in the driving seat having ousted his previous partner Derek Jarman. Should we feel sorry for Derek Jarman - although he (may- subject to confirmation) be made bankrupt - has he really got nothing? - will it be one of these cases where wealth has been moved to other family members? it will be interesting to see how that develops - any news, just let this site know.

Paul Wells - He's now the Managing Director. Used to work closely with Derek Jarman. I take it they aren't friends now.

Richard Sharman - He's the Financial Director and he was at the old Midas Press (partnership) - he was the one that would never give you a straight answer or if you were a supplier, would never call you back.

Paul Chivers - Production Director - a very competent production man.

Steve Oliver - He used to be the "junior" partner in the partnership before Midas Press went bust and he's obviously run away with his new friends! He's now been de-moted from Junior Associate Partner to be Sales Director of the new Midas Press PLC.

Clive Merit - Commercial Director - I think he's a quite a nice guy but is probably easily lead.

This appears to be the new "TEAM MIDAS" or "PHOENIX FLYERS" - money no object, because we just dumped our liabilities and lost all our debts!
